Pack everything and anything in the MX-GEAR SLIDER PACK modular utility backpack. This functional backpack transforms its style depending on how you want to use it, so you never need to switch bags. Say you want to hit the gym first thing in the morning, but you have a client meeting in the afternoon. The MX-GEAR SLIDER PACK has you covered since it transforms from a backpack to a briefcase in just one second.

The MX-GEAR SLIDER PACK is a pretty cool backpack. It has a tidy, rectangular shape, and its front compartment pockets give it a utilitarian look. Laminated waterproof fabric keeps this functional backpack safe from rain, snow, and splashes of water. At the same time, the hardware is all military/defense-grade and complies with the U.S. berry amendment. And the TOPGREEN fibers are environmentally friendly and made from recycled PET bottles. But the materials and design are just the beginning. Let’s see what this bag can actually do.

Transform your bag in just 1 second

That’s right; this modular backpack changes shape in just one second. That’s thanks to its patented hidden track design, which can switch from backpack mode to messenger mode in a snap. With this design element, you don’t have to stop to take off a backpack strap and store it in the bag for a messenger design. It also helps you retrieve things from your backpack like your wallet and keys more easily since you won’t have to reach around to open pockets or even remove the bag entirely.

Check out this modular bag’s 8 modes

The trouble with most modular bags is that they’re a little basic. Many only change the placement of the bag or let you remove a pocket or two. The MX-GEAR SLIDER PACK actually lets you change the carrying style, and each compartment acts as an independent bag—also with different carrying modes. The company calls it a modular plug-in design, and it allows you to design the bag you need for your circumstances. The possible modes are Backpack, Messenger Bag, Briefcase, Sling Bag, Waist Bag, Cross-Body Bag, Neck Pouch, and Luggage Bag. That’s a pretty comprehensive list of bags.

Each module performs its duty

Central to this functional backpack’s design are its many cool compartments. Each one acts as an independent bag that organizes what you store inside. This divides your daily carrying needs and means your items aren’t stuck in one bag that might not fit the situation you’re in. You’ll be happy to know that the bags work with the standard MOLLE tactical system and the ITW military detachable quick buckle. Here are the different modules:

The MX-PACK

This the MX-GEAR SLIDER PACK’s main bag. It has a quick-access pocket with a diagonal opening and a forward-leaning inner layer. The main compartment opens like a piece of luggage, allowing you to store things like a laptop, clothing, files, books, and pamphlets in an organized way and to have a clear view of everything inside. It has space for up to a 16-inch MacBook and is even ideal for travel.

The MX-CASE

The MX-Case is one of this functional backpack’s smaller compartments. You can attach it to the MX-PACK as an extra storage compartment for smaller items like your smartphone or keys. Otherwise, you can detach it from the main bag and use it as a handbag. And it makes a great one because it has a latch closure and a two-way zipper opening. The interior has a mesh pocket, a YKK zipper pocket, and an elastic band pocket. It’s just the bag you need for jaunts out of the home or office when you don’t want to take too much stuff with you.

The MX-POUCH

Another small compartment, the MX-POUCH, is a detachable pocket for items you want to keep nearby and access quickly. We’re talking about your camera, smartphone, and wallet. Wear the MX-POUCH like a neck pouch or clip it to the backpack’s straps. That way, you can reach it easily while you’re, say, cycling or walking.

The MX-SLING

The ideal sling bag, the MX-SLING extends across the body or back for comfortable carry. Like the other modules, it also clips to the main bag. It has a pocket for your water bottle and is great for storing larger items like an umbrella or rolled-up towel.

The MX-GEAR SLIDER PACK modular utility backpack is the ultimate bag for every day and every situation. Take it to the office in the messenger carry mode, since it stores your laptop and documents. Then when you want to run out for a latte or meet a friend who works nearby for lunch, reach for the MX-POUCH or CASE. This functional backpack covers so many circumstances; it really is like having eight bags in one and is perfect for busy professionals, students, and even parents with small kids.

The MX-GEAR SLIDER PACK modular utility backpack typically costs $329. You can currently preorder it for $189 on Kickstarter. Would you use a modular backpack? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section.
